Question: What is Hadath al-Akbar and Hadath al Ashrat?

Answer: Hadath al-Akbar (The major impurity) is when washing the whole body becomes obligatory. In this state one is not allowed to read Salaah, recite Quraan, enter a Masjid, etc. The washing of the entire body is called Ghusl. After Ghusl, Hadath al-Akbar will be removed. 

Hadath -al Asghar(The minor impurity)  is the washing and wiping of certain limbs. This washing is called Wudhu. Wudhu is required for Salaah, to touch the Quraan, to make Tawaaf, etc. 

And Allah Knows Best
